Federal contributions itemized with ZIP 19809

A $102.6 million ZIP on 13,909 receipts

Thirteen thousand nine hundred nine itemized lines produce $102,553,171. The mean is about $7,373 per receipt ($102,553,171 / 13,909). That is among the highest means in this batch of ZIP hubs, and it is not a household-typical figure. A small city ZIP with nine-figure federal itemizations and a four-digit receipt count is a committee-address pattern until the table shows otherwise.

Wilmington-area codes appear on corporate and committee letterhead because Delaware is a common legal home for entities. FEC itemizations still store a five-digit ZIP, not a corporate-charter flag. LobbyVault does not mark 19809 as a Delaware-entity ZIP; it stores what treasurers typed. The $102,553,171 total follows that typing.

Comparing 19809 with a high-volume residential ZIP on dollars alone hides the receipt gap. Thirteen thousand lines versus two hundred thousand lines is the fact that should lead the comparison. $102,553,171 is large; 13,909 is the reason to open the largest rows first.

Why a high mean changes how to read the table

Sort the ZIP 19809 FEC page by amount before describing the ZIP as local giving. If a short list of committee names accounts for most of $102,553,171, the ZIP is a mail drop for federal money that may have been raised elsewhere. Joint-fundraising pass-throughs often land on a convenient address. The FEC ZIP field follows the form.

There is no unique-donor count in this packet. Thirteen thousand receipts are still not a people count, and with a $7,373 mean they are even less likely to be a neighborhood headcount. Keep 13,909 labeled as contribution lines.

What 19809 does not measure

The aggregate is not a Delaware state-election total and not a Wilmington municipal report. It is federal itemizations from FEC.gov. It is also not a count of corporations chartered in Delaware. Corporate-charter statistics live in other databases.

19809 is one Wilmington-area code. Other Delaware ZIPs have separate hubs. Rank them on the all-ZIP index using dollars and receipt counts. Do not fold 19809 into a homemade statewide figure; that number is not in the packet.

PAC and joint-fundraising on 19809

ZIP 19809 totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents. With 13,909 receipts against $102,553,171, that caveat is the main rule. Read contributor names on the largest lines before comparing 19809 with a residential ZIP that has a mid-hundreds mean. The comparison is only fair if both sides stay labeled as mailing codes.

Delaware letterhead and the 19809 receipt gap

Wilmington-area ZIPs show up on entity letterhead because Delaware is a common legal home. FEC itemizations do not record a charter state; they record a ZIP. ZIP 19809’s $102,553,171 on 13,909 receipts should be read with that limit in mind. A mean near $7,373 is the arithmetic of large lines on a thin base. It is not a household average for Bellefonte or Claymont streets that share the code.

Open the ZIP 19809 FEC page and sort by amount before writing a local-giving story. If committee names dominate the top rows, describe 19809 as a filing address. Joint-fundraising pass-throughs can land on a Delaware ZIP while original donors live elsewhere. LobbyVault summed the ZIP on the itemization, not the path of every underlying check.

Do not add 19809 to other Delaware codes to invent a statewide federal total. Rank them on the all-ZIP index instead, keeping receipt counts in the comparison. Use the donor directory for names. This packet’s facts remain $102,553,171 and 13,909 contributions.

Next records after 19809

Open the ZIP 19809 FEC page for the 13,909-row table behind $102,553,171. Rank other codes on the all-ZIP index. Use the donor directory for names. This guide cites only the packet’s total and contribution count. Cycle years and occupation lists are omitted because they are not packet facts. Cite $102,553,171 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 19809. Delaware state filings and unitemized federal gifts sit outside it. If the live hub reprints a different total or 13,909-line count, the newer FEC extract wins. The accurate sentence is: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 19809 total $102,553,171 across 13,909 contributions, according to FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. A mean near $7,373 follows from division and is not a Wilmington household average.
